Solution

The correct option is C Soil.
Soil respiration refers to the production of carbon dioxide when soil organisms respire. They include roots and other microbiota. Roots continuously respire and liberate significant quantities of CO2. The CO2, when dissolved in soil water, produces carbonic acid. Immediately they ionize into H+ and bicarbonate ions. Thus during respiration in plant root carbonic acid is formed. Thus the correct answer is option C.
